Not all property forecasts are gloomy. One economic forecaster and industry analysts, BIS Shrapnel, expect Australian residential property prices to rise during 2009. BIS Shrapnel believe residential property prices will decline in most cities during the September quarter of 2008 and combined with the small fall in the previous quarter will result in a weak performance for 2008 overall.

An undersupply of housing and significant recent interest rate cuts, along with the government's boost to the First Home Owners Grant, are key elements likely to support property price maintenance and growth.
